Uncle Joey...I am going to miss you very much! Like my sister Debbie said, you were very dear to us. Seeing you always made me smile, and it was comforting also because you did remind me so much of my dad. You were always so nice to all of us. A true pleasure to be around. I will always hold a special place for you in my heart.

Love Always,

Debbie Cochara

My Dearest Uncle Joe,
You will be missed so much! Sweet, Kind and Special is what you are and always will be to me. I always held onto you just a little tighter after my father passed away. You and my father looked so much alike, it always amazed me, right down to the way you both combed your hair. Now he can hold onto you a little tighter too. Thank you for warming my heart for so many years and for just being you!
Love,
Your Niece,
Debbie

Love,
Debbie
